The top of your left foot is killing you when you run. Do you A) call a Podiatrist or Othopedist and schedule an appointment or B) pull out your phone and Google the symptom? Most of us would respond with B. The Internet is much easier to tap into in order to find answers quickly. Much easier, much faster (and not to mention, much cheaper). Who needs a consultation with the doctor? Well, we all do.

As much as Googling brings a wealth of knowledge into our realms, sifting through it to find the CORRECT answers to our health questions can be incredibly time-consuming. (There goes the "quickness factor.") And the correct one may not be out there. Misdiagnosing happens all of the time. Let a professional give the diagnosis, not a search engine.

Googling health-related queries is perfectly fine; however, do not let it play the role of doctor by relying on the information discovered.
